Troubleshooting
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket
Ensure the pipe end is clean, free from burrs, and correctly aligned. Check if the pipe diameter matches the socket size. Lightly chamfering the pipe end can help.
Leak at the joint
The pipe may not have been fully inserted. Disconnect the joint and re-insert the pipe, ensuring it is pushed all the way in. Check the pipe end and socket for any debris or damage.
Joint feels loose after installation
Disconnect and re-seat the pipe firmly into the socket. Ensure the pipe is inserted to the correct depth mark. Inspect the pipe end for damage that might prevent a secure fit.
System noise (gurgling)
This can sometimes indicate an issue with airflow or venting in the waste system. Ensure the system is correctly installed according to plumbing codes and that all necessary vents are in place and functioning.
